SUMMARY:Shipwreck and Salvation - The Wreck of The Prince Maurice 1657
DESCRIPTION:The New Amsterdam History Center special presentation:\n\nOn the night of March 13\, 1657\, as a Nor'easter raged\, a Dutch ship\, The Prince Maurice\, slammed into the coast of Fire Island. Aboard were 129 souls passengers\, crew and Dutch West India Company soldiers. Ashore were Indigenous people on their coastal night watch\, listening to the ship crash against the shoal. \n\nUntil now the story of this dramatic Long Island shipwreck and rescue has been known only to a handful of historians. But the rescue on an ice laden beach has been part of Indigenous oral history for 400 years. \n\nNow\, thanks to a generous grant from the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation\, the New Amsterdam History Center's groundbreaking Mapping Early New York has merged these written and oral histories of Long Island. Combining old fashioned research and new technology including AI\, a new window on history has opened wide for children\, their parents\, historians\, map nerds\, and computer gamers.\n\nPresenters\n\nToya Dubin\, Mapping Early NY Project Director\n\nDrew Shuptar-Rayvis\, Algonkian Historical Consultant
